Although Howe didn't break any of his scoring records, he assisted on a pair of goals by Lindsay and on another goal by Abel. "I WAS LAUGHING too much to score a goal myself," said Howe, the Mr.

Hockey of the National Hockey League before his retirement from the Red Wings last September. "Playing with the ol' guys is really great the companionship and the joking back and forth," added Gordie. "You know, none of the guys have changed a bit. Oh, they've slowed up some, but they still have all the moves." The Old-Timers completely destroyed the Apollos, a senior men's league club.

Perhaps, even slightly more than the Apollos wanted. Marty Pavelich was tested a few times by an elbow or a slash.

And Lindsay received a share of the clutching and grabbing, too. "That Marty is a competitive bugger," said Howe. "I guess Lindsay is getting through to him. Ted has always been that way."

2 in interceptions during a National Football League career, has quit the Detroit Lions' front office to accept a position as a member of Southern University's football staff. "It's an opportunity for me to reach two goals," said Lane, who recorded the last of his 62 pass thefts as a Lions' cornerback before retiring in 1965. "I recently received offers to become head coach and athletic director at excellent universities. I lost those jobs because I had not completed my co 1 1 education when I started playing pro ball back in 1952. "IN MY NEW position at Southern, I also will be able to coach, to complete my academic work and receive a degree in physical education," Lane said.

Popejoy has run 3:58 and 3:59 in workouts but hasn't been able to overcome the psychological barrier of the four-minute mile in competition. "I'm getting there I'm not scared like I used to be," he said. "I feel I've got the ability to do it, but that isn't always what counts. It's what you have upstairs that's important, too." The Glenn Cunningham gambit still bothered me as we finished breakfast, so I began throwing more names at this young man.
